In a search for answers spanning almost 14 years, Wehrle’s family is now fundraising to put up billboards hoping to find new information about his disappearance.
A missing persons report from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s ViCAP program said “Wehrle left behind many of his possessions, including his cell phone. His vehicle was also initially missing, but it was later recovered with the key in the ignition in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where Wehrle has no known ties.”
Before going missing, Wehrle lived in Atlanta with his partner. The FBI said foul play is suspected in his disappearance and the Carrollton Police Department is still investigating.
